Hi all;

Wunderbar!

I think it is obvious that gAr has the Ramanujan touch! Even his typos are cool.

Hi bobbym,

I'm nowhere near Ramanujan!
That typo wasn't deliberate, but glancing at that I too think it's cool!

Re: Limits!

Okay.
I hope you can search about that during your spare time.
Anyway, I'll tell briefly the concept of getting the answer.
Learn during your spare time. Very interesting!

Hi bobbym,

That's correct !

Hi anonimnystefy,

That's great!
But before going to integrals, know differentiation clearly.
Otherwise you'll have trouble remembering some results!

Re: Limits!

I always take logarithms and then take derivative for such problems!
Extra effort is during simplification, but easier than quotient rule.

I think it should be \lim_{x\to-\infty}.
